How Registration Works
Step 1 — Register Online
Purchase your $139 Self-Guided First Aid CPR AED training package through NIHE's secure online shopping cart.

After purchasing, call NIHE at 800-773-8895 or 903-903-1001.
Tell us whether you prefer Palestine or an available Dallas training date.

Complete all required online learning before your scheduled hands-on skills appointment.
